FS: Really rare 18ct Breitling 785(D) Datora with Venus 191

For sale:

A really rare Breitling Datora ref 785 (D) in 18ct gold. The 785 is normally a 35mm watch equiped with a Valjoux 72c but in 1951 Breitling used the Venus 191 for about a year. This movement is supposedly only used by Breitling. The case is a bit bigger (36mm) and thicker then the VJ72C cases.
The case looks really healthy with minimal wear. The dial is 100% original and shows some patina/signs of age. The movement is really clean and runs well. I believe one of the subdial hands and the crown were replaced during a service.
Please look at the pics.
This is a really rare piece, especially in 18ct gold and with an original dial. I priced this one to sell at 4750 euro.
